So at last nights show I walk in and the hostess introduces me to her SIL and she promptly asks me about the business. I answer her questions and she tells me that for quite some time she has thought about selling and really likes the income opportunities and the products. She went to culinary school and would LOVE more PC. So now she wants info...A LOT of info.
What do I give her besides the recruiting materials PC offers and how much info is TOO much info?
I have TONS of different files on recruiting info, I don't want to overwhelm her, but I don't want to give her not enough?
Advice, Please!!!
 
I had one girl that did askj alot of questions and the nitty gritty stufff. You are right to not overwhelm her.
First I would let her know why now is the best time to start...$100 extra free, fairs, fun summer parties etc.
Then I would lend her my consultant book for the night. Let her read it and then meet with her the next day.
She can read at her own pace, look at what interests her and you won't feel like you might "throw up" on her.
Good luck!
 
The your life your way DVD is more then enough for her - then just LISTEN and answer her concerns and questions! Tell her its a NO lose situation - she loves the products, gets a ton in her kit and IF she doesn't find this works for her, there is no pressure. Good luck and keep us all posted!
